Sing, sing ye druids comes from the 1695 production of Bonduca, or The British Heroine, an adaptation of Fletcher’s tragedy about Boadicea, for which Purcell wrote, only a month before his death, a considerable amount of music, both vocal and instrumental. The movement is written over a ground bass which is treated to an ingenious array of transpositions and inversions to achieve variety, prefaced by an instrumental ritornello for two recorders.
